    Well fuck. It's like showing no where. Metrotown is like the only good location.

    I am really sad to be missing this at science world tomorrow:
    Spoiler:

    Anyways I never went on the 16th. We must go sometime between now and April 1, 2012.

    Standard Action, it's a webseries.

    October 15th - Catboy is apparently going to be in town so we want to PARTAY.

    Proposed options:
    - Fright Night (depending on the weather really)
    - Meeting somewhere for food/drinks, I was thinking Boston Pizza or Red Robin's at Metrotown (for easy transit access) and then perhaps a movie or going to a bar
    - Meeting at a bar somewhere and getting drunk (perhaps you guys know a good place with room for about 10 people?)

    Let me know options, I'm also open to having some people over at my place after w/e, though I don't have a lot of space here :( BUT WE WILL MAKE IT WORK

    No, YOU make ME a sandwich!

    SO, Access has never been to a live Rocky Horror show! I say we all go, make him wear a big ol' virgin sticker and make a night of it!

    September 30th. Could lead into SmallLady's weekend adventures! :D

    8502184533758290.gif OH YEAH!
  • faerielaurelynfaerielaurelyn Registered User regular
    Okay so October 15th, I figure we can do dinner at the White Spot close to the Westin downtown and then pool party at SmallLady's!! RSVP for dinner so I know how many to book a reservation for!

    I'm down for fright nights, but if that's not happening on the 15th, I suggest we hit it up on the 29th.

    Then we can have a pool party AND fright nights... without having to scramble to do both!

  • ACC3SSACC3SS Registered User
    Alright, I'm definitely available for Rocky, but I'll need you guys for support. I've heard horror stories.

    Regarding Fright Nights, I believe a number of us will be State-side on the 29th.

  • TeenychickaTeenychicka Registered User
    Yes, I shall be stateside on the 29th as well. But I DEFINITELY want to do Fright Nights!

    My roomie and I are definitely doing RHPS, so I hope everyone else joins in on the fun :D *brings toast*

    8502184533758290.gif OH YEAH!
  • BombchelleBombchelle Registered User
    Definitely gonna come to RHPS :) and should be able to make it to the pool party :)

    Have never done fright nights so really want to go!

  • TherosTheros Registered User regular
    edited September 2011
    Keep in mind Fright Nights is only from the 14th through the 31st. If the 15th is out and the 29th is out, the only weekend left is in the middle - the 22nd - and there is yet another party in Seattle that weekend as well.

    If fright nights are going to happen, it's going to be an either/or proposition, vs the pool party or Seattle Parties, or....
    A WEEKDAY!

    Like, say, Friday the 14th. When it opens.

    Theros on

    Who here likes Karaoke?

    My folks have graciously volunteered the use of their house and Karaoke set up for a night of Rockband minus the instruments. I"m thinking a Saturday upcoming so put forth thine availability for coming out, singing and seeing ridiculously out of date pictures of me from highschool and such.

    OMG YES I would be totally down for Karaoke! And the high school pictures are a big plus.

    There is a Seattle party the 8th, the 15th is the pool party (and I think you're out of town), sounds like the 22nd is Seattle halloween parties, so maybe it could be a halloween party the 29th or first week of November??

    It's been a long time since I've posted on the PAX Forums, but I live in Vancouver now! Which means I can actually go to these things!

    I shan't be at the pool party or fright nights...

    Mostly because I've got that date to go on on Saturday instead, and we will be going to fright nights then. have fun!

    It would appear I am escaping China and landing in Vancouver the second weekend in December. I demand entertainment and a bottle of Caramilk liqueur. In return, I shall provide bail funds and goods coated in lead.

    WOOO CHAOS IN CANADA!

    Hey everyone.

    I miss you very much. It would be awesome if you could join me here for some games:

    http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=180325055386774

    Failing that, I will just have to come hang out at one of these other events very soon.

    Also, I am CRAZY EXCITED that chaosisorder is coming to town. She must drink from the cup that no doubt wouldn't have been ours without her... I promise I'll wash it first. :D

    The Last New Year's Eve Party

    The end of days is among us. The world ends next year, so this is the last New Years party we'll ever have. This party needs rock so hard, it creates the next big bang.

    This New Years party will be in the Gastown area of Vancouver, BC. Things will kick off around 6 or 7 with the infamous PAX Rockband stage (big ups to deadmetal), dance central, and some other gaming fun. At 9 or 10, we may have some Nerdlesque, followed by a live DJ who will play till the wee hours of the first day of 2012. After the party dies down, there will be some movie screenings and more gaming for the nocturnal-types.

    I will update this post with the exact address within two weeks from now, along with a map, transit info and a list of nearby hotels. This event is being held in a venue, and as such, I need to charge cover (which will be $20). There'll be a cash bar, I think beer will probably be $2 (maybe $3). I haven't decided on liquor yet, so if you guys have preferences, let me know.

    Formal wear is highly encouraged. The party will have a black and white theme (being New Years and all). Oh, and I'll probably do a bunch of contests and what have you throughout the evening. Fuck yeah free shit.

    We have room for roughly 100 people. Please RSVP in this thread, or here - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=189781844430044

    Would anyone be interested in going to see the laser shows at McMillan Space Centre? They're ending them after 30 years of shows, last show in Jan 2012.

    There's a deal where you can see 2 shows in one night for 20 bucks (Which, admittedly, is not much of a deal compared to normal price) http://roundhouseproductionsshows.com/ http://www.spacecentre.ca/laser

    Possible combinations are:

    1. Radiohead and Led Zeppelin (Friday 8:15/9:20)
    2. Led Zeppelin and Dark Side of the Moon (Friday 9:20/10:25)
    3. The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon (Saturday 9:20/10:25)

  • faerielaurelynfaerielaurelyn Registered User regular
    So I'd like to get the gang together this Friday night (Nov 18th) to see a movie or maybe the laser show Worm posted...

    idea 1 - Scotiabank Theatre, 7ish show, either In Time or Immortals
    idea 2 - Friday Radiohead & Led Zepplin 8:15 laser show

    Thoughts? Preferences?

    Spoiler:

    I'd like to come, but if you wait until the second or later, I can join. Otherwise I am busy volunteering for a theatre group over the next few fridays (just so you know that my absence would be for a good cause).

    .. oh I guess there are saturdays also, but again none of mine are open until the third.

  • faerielaurelynfaerielaurelyn Registered User regular
    We can definitely do a get together then as well, maybe that's a better time for the laser show.

    I think for Friday we'll go see Immortals, if anyone wants to join us text me. If you don't have my number, PM me!

    No, YOU make ME a sandwich!
  • TeenychickaTeenychicka Registered User
    I definitely want to see the laser show before it ends, but I think I'll wait till January. My roomie wants to join, but he's on set until December :(

    And I've already seen Immortals, so I'm out for that.

    8502184533758290.gif OH YEAH!
  • parabolaparabola Registered User
    Would go but i'm now always busy on Fridays. Such is life.

  • SumiSumi Registered User regular
    Hey everyone,

    Teeny and I will be planning some sort of event on December 10th to celebrate chaos being in town. If you'd like to come, keep that date open! I'll post more details soon!
